As observers caught on, testimonials came from many quarters, including NY Times, which recognised the band as “the best to have emerged from the hardcore scene.”  After blowing the doors off the burgeoning alt-rock movement with Zen Arcade the previous July, the band dropped New Day Rising just six months later and then never stopped chasing the Hidden Beach sunrise that adorned that album’s cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn January 30, 1985, the 1500 attendees inside 1st Ave wouldn’t be needing so much as a T-shirt, let alone the nearest fiberfill parka: from the first blinding moments of “New Day Rising,” it was clear that Dü had arrived intent on setting every molecule in the room alight. Their setlist displayed a night-long cascade of fireballs chosen from Everything Falls Apart, Metal Circus, Zen Arcade, and New Day Rising, and 5 new songs that would appear on Flip Your Wig. They also made several nods, with a ballistic take on The Byrds’ “Eight Miles High,” a turbulent spin on The Beatles’ “Helter Skelter” featuring Soul Asylum’s Dave Pirner, a pop-punk remake of “Ticket To Ride, ” and closing with their signature cover “Love Is All Around.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsidering the late-Jan 2011 fire that consumed a precious portion of the Dü archive, it has to be reckoned as a kind of subordinate miracle that the 1985 1st Ave tapes survived at all. They deliver peak Dü at full gallop through already beloved material, still years shy of fully cementing their status as a blueprint for the alternative rock skyscraper to come. This set celebrates these tapes, strikingly perhaps the highest fidelity Hüsker Dü recordings ever produced during the band’s lauded SST years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Numero Group","offers":[{"title":"Blue","offer_id":43694693482538,"sku":"HUSKER DU - 1985: The Miracle Year BLUE","price":184.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black","offer_id":43694693515306,"sku":"HUSKER DU - 1985: The Miracle Year BLACK","price":171.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2CD","offer_id":43694695743530,"sku":null,"price":49.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1273\/6111\/files\/huskerdu-themiracleyear.jpg?v=1759922135"},{"product_id":"angel-face-out-in-the-street-lp","title":"* PREORDER * ANGEL FACE - Out In The Street LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e* PREORDER * awaiting our supplier to receive a restock and we'll ship from them immediately\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLET'S GO!

Pastoral minimalism and spiritual elegance take over on ‘Fragili danze’, a mesmerizing dance that mixes the emotional engagement found in Laurie Spiegel’s compositions and that constant search for human fabric. This is an element that is widely explored on the masterful album closing sequence of ‘Oltre le palpebre’ and ‘Lonely blue star’ where acoustic instrumentation pinpoints Bono \/ Burattini’s silky stratifications creating a sense of three-dimensional space and gentle propulsion. A mysterious mix that touches on the obscure rumblings of early UK post-rock greats Bark Psychosis\/Disco Inferno while keeping a hand deep in the pockets of Italian archival folklore and 70s tradition.

The first evidence of these sessions was unleashed in Apr '78 on the band’s own Vengeance label.

In November of the same year, and again from the October 1977 sessions came another two song lesson in how it’s done, or undone, with easily one of the greatest A sides of all time: ‘Human Fly.’ The B side was held hostage by “Domino,” originally sung by Roy Orbison. In the summer of 1979, young degenerates were treated to a 12” called Gravest Hits, which featured a fifth track from the October 1977 sessions...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“What happened to the rest of the tracks from October 1977?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2026, Larry Hardy, owner of In The Red, rapelled down, deep into the vast, sunless vault of the Cramps tape collection, and resurfaced, overjoyed with what he’d returned to topside with: six ¼” reels of tracks, mixed by Lux [Interior] and [Poison] Ivy...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGravest Gravy is one of the purest collections of unrestrained, wild music you’ll ever hear.

From the blood-soaked vocal passages of “Christabel ’26” to the eerie trip-hop pulse of “Same Rules,” Who Loves The Sun is deeply human despite its allusions to a dying, divided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4jMsE6KcuAg?si=kwoecayLcu-zNKgm\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Flenser","offers":[{"title":"Baby Blue LP","offer_id":44504757174314,"sku":"CHAT PILE - Who Loves The Sun LP-1","price":47.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":44504757207082,"sku":"CHAT PILE - Who Loves The Sun LP-2","price":43.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":44504757239850,"sku":"CHAT PILE - Who Loves The Sun LP-3","price":24.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1273\/6111\/files\/chatpile-wholoves.jpg?v=1782370539"},{"product_id":"ty-segall-chrome-lp","title":"* PREORDER * TY SEGALL - Chrome LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e* PREORDER * expected to arrive late August\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso available on CD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the spring of 2025, right around the release of Possession, Ty Segall started hearing voices, calmly at first, but soon screaming: “Get the band back together!!!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImmediately, his mind began working, creating, collecting and collating riffs for songs, an album that he and the band—Ben Boye, Evan Burrows, Mikal Cronin and Emmett Kelly—will come to all call Chrome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChrome—the element, not the album—is shiny, reflective, resistant to corrosion.

Joined on session drums by both Vapula (the band’s live drummer) and Vrolok of the legendary Aeternus as well as live second guitar player Keld (Majesties, Obsequiae), who here contributes additional leads, keys and hurdy gurdy, the Hulder universe widens its collaborative disposition to a new creative level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with the previous album Verses In Oath the mix has been handled by Ahti Kortelainen at Tico Tico Studio in Finland, giving the album an earthy resonance befitting its obsessions with blood, landscape and spiritual inheritance.

Added to Windy And Carl’s hovering augmented chord voicings and vaporous guitar drones were electric piano and synth bedding from Frank And Fred. After the initial sessions, all involved parties took time to consider what they’d made, adding new layers and editing the pieces into more definitive articulations. A beautiful and hermetic energy larger than the sum of its parts is captured in the process. There are echoes of the earliest releases from Windy And Carl as well as refractions of the same opacity that surfaced in the early Kranky catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iv10k46MFEM?si=WBo2zZWLz6XSkIBK\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Kranky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44585387360298,"sku":"WINDY and CARL WITH OPTIGAN CONSERVATORY - s\/t LP","price":54.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1273\/6111\/files\/windyandcarlwithoptiganconservatory-s-t.jpg?v=1784196598"},{"product_id":"yummy-fur-everybody-talks-about-the-weather-lp-1","title":"* PREORDER * YUMMY FUR - Everybody Talks About The Weather LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e* PREORDER * expected to arrive late Sept\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack vinyl and CD available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighest recommendation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yummy Fur’s first album of new material in over 25 years is seductive and ambiguous; a fast-paced flip through scenes from art, myth, life and fantasy; a witty whole made from glittering scraps. The band’s original incarnation – fronted by singer, songwriter and guitarist John McKeown from 1992 to 1999 – morphed from making quick-hit cartoon-art songs to Eno and Cale-influenced creepers, populated by characters from McKeown’s life in Glasgow and the films, books and poetry that he lived a parallel life through. Everybody Talks About The Weather delights in using every past iteration of the band as potent collage material: a melee of sounds and ideas existing at once, revealing themselves then dipping back into hiding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded by the original core trio of McKeown, Brian MacDougall (guitar) and Paul Thomson (drums), ETATW comes 17 years after the band reformed for sporadic live shows, and 7 years after the greatest hits compilation, Piggy Wings. Ten tracks long with nothing to spare, it is as condensed and vital as their best songs, with a new clarity of sound that allows their ambiguities to come into the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album begins with “Cogs”, a taunting inquisition from within. As McKeown stages a fight between his id and ego, the tension heats up between conversational guitar lines and minimalist repetition; threatening sing-song melody and real, palpable menace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll this could be laboured in lesser hands, but cultural verbosity is second nature to The Yummy Fur, who transform all this source material into songs that are weird, sexy, funny and absurd. Meaning is not happily understood or flattened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverybody Talks… is an unpredictable album from an unpredictable group, but ending on a moment of almost uncomplicated light is maybe its biggest surprise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Unity Over Europe\" is the LEAST regular-Yummy Fur-sounding song on the album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wp1NaX_dH0Q?si=H-FDwf-Pi7tC7bqE\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Upset The Rhythm","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":44585436086314,"sku":"YUMMY FUR - Everybody Talks About The Weather BLACK","price":38.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":44585436119082,"sku":"YUMMY FUR - Everybody Talks About The Weather CD","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1273\/6111\/files\/yummyfur-everybodytalksabouttheweather.jpg?v=1784202259"},{"product_id":"why-bother-beyond-step-one-lp","title":"* PREORDER * WHY BOTHER? - Beyond Step One LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e* PREORDER * expected to arrive early-mid August\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly recommended.

They operate in silence and darkness, and not by accident. What we do know is that they continue to issue sprawling musical works that skew from garage punk - to surf rock - to new wave and beyond. Their music is connective, frenetic, and eruptive with covert but powerful subliminal messages bubbling beneath the surface. Unlike many modern bands, WHY BOTHER? choose not to perform live. Instead, they offer Odyssian sonic works like reclusive painters uninterested in the novelty of attention or a cult of personalities. And so we listen closely, and we wait patiently for each new and expansive batch of songs; a singular and cohesive rock n roll vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith Beyond Step One, WHY BOTHER? conjures eighteen pieces. Eight punk songs, which are par for the course for the group; oddball yet hyper-infectious tunes that utilize grotesque horror film tropes and off-kilter love songs as a trojan-horse for subversive satire and social critique. Interspersed between these punky hits are musical poems; spoken lyrical prose written by their currently incarcerated lyricists and former guitarist. Each spoken-word arrangement is shrouded within an individualized noisy, free jazz backing track. In total, Beyond Step One, is a step deeper into the void for this group of mystics. With this collection of songs and works, WHY BOTHER? expand their scope with a growing experimental capacity. And while there are dark days afoot, and many to come, remember to be stoic as we move into the future.
